Case Study: VolkerRail achieves financial foresight and cost-efficient project control with Jedox

Lowering Risks and Minimizing Costs on Every Business Level With Jedox

VolkerRail, a rail division of Royal VolkerWessels Stevin with about EUR 4.5 billion in revenue and 15,000 employees across North America and Europe, faced growing market pressure to manage fixed‑fee contracts and higher project risk. Fragmented ERP systems and a reliance on manual Excel consolidation left finance without timely insight or foresight, making it difficult to control costs, assess risk and drive project performance.

Working with Jedox partner Celcus, VolkerRail implemented Jedox for budgeting, rolling forecasting, risk assessment, consolidation and reporting on a single OLAP database with an Excel‑like interface. The rollout eliminated error-prone spreadsheets, automated data extraction, and delivered real‑time dashboards—empowering finance, increasing financial consciousness and faster decision‑making. The result: reduced risk and costs, more reliable reporting and a solution that exceeded the CFO’s expectations.
